Apparently Starbucks employees in Maryland are asking breastfeeding women to cover up or go in the restroom. And the women are fighting back!!

Here's emmagrant01's take on things: What she said.

I hate Starbucks so much.


Oh, and wtf? Why are my hands all dried out even when I've been using gloves to clean all day? Hmph.

I'm not going to condemn formula feeing moms; after I was in the hospital with gallstones/depression/gallstone complications/panic attacks, I gave up breastfeeding after four months because I was on too dang many drugs and just too sick. I'm all for doing what works best for each individual mom and baby - while it might not be THE healthiest thing, you have to do what you have to do. But it pisses me off to no end when moms are asked to leave/whatever. As long as they aren't deliberately exposing a whole lot of skin or walking around shirtless or something, then buzz off!

Formula has its place, although I'd like to see it in fewer places because moms are constantly told they "can't nurse", when yes, they can. If it's a choice to use formula, then fine. The choice needs to be the moms, though, and not the doc's. Or the formula companies, who at least used to give free samples away in hospitals.

Anyway, no matter what people think of formula, I don't think anyone (except maybe that rocket scientist who yelled at you) would call formula and Act of God. It's almost funny, that.

Er. That would be the mom's. *gasp* Omitted apostrophes! *flogs self*
